Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as liquid or solid?
covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in any state.
Do covalent compounds conduct electricity?
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
Does covalent substances conduct electricity when molten?
No, covalent substances do not conduct electricity when molten because they do not have free-moving charged particles (ions or electrons) that can carry an electric current. Covalent substances consist of molecules held together by covalent bonds, and these bonds do not break in a way that allows for the flow of electric charge.
Do giant covalent bonds conduct electricity when solid?
No, because the molecules are neutral so therefore there are no charged particles to carry a current.
Materials with bonds conduct electricity in the solid state while those with bonds conduct electricity only when melted or dissolved in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in the solid state as their ions are fixed in a lattice. Covalent compounds only conduct electricity when melted or dissolved due to the mobility of charged particles in solution.

What minerals are in pencil lead?
Only Carbon - Graphite Its a covalent solid the only one that can conduct electricity

No, because the molecules are neutral so therefore there are no charged particles to carry a current.
Can iodine conduct electricity?
Iodine is covalent so it does not conduct electricity in a solid, however it will conduct in a liquid or molten state. The reason why it cannot conduct in a solid is that electrons cannot move freely through it.
Does liquid naphthalene conduct electricity?
Naphthalene is a Ionic Substance. Hence, Ionic substance do not conduct when solid. But they do conduct when melted or dissolved in water - and they decompose at the same time. Therefor molten Naphthalene conduts electricity as the ions become free to move when dissolved in water.
Materials with bonds conduct electricity in the solid state while those with bonds conduct electricity only when melted or dissolved in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity in the solid state as their ions are fixed in a lattice. Covalent compounds only conduct electricity when melted or dissolved due to the mobility of charged particles in solution.
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Is iodine solid a conductor?
No solid iodine does not conduct electricity.
Why does solid iodine not stick to fingerprints?
iodine is a covalent compound and no ionic properties. there are no free electrons on it. so it can not conduct electricity.
What feature of atomic structure and metallic bonding makes it possible for metals to conduct electricity in the solid state?
covalent bonding? not sure on this, but have a wiki read!
